“Coquelicot” is a cardigan with a lace yoke and 3/4 length sleeves.

It is knitted from the top down, without any seams or short rows. Set-in sleeves are worked together with the bodice after picking up and knitting a few stitches at the shoulders.

A provisional cast-on is done at the bottom of the lace part of each front. Next, the two parts are joined to knit the back. Stiches are picked up along the selvage edges that become the tops of the sleeve caps (inspired by “Simultaneous set-in sleeves” from Barbara Walker, Knitting from the top), and the entire cardigan is then worked in one piece.
